Thank you, I appreciate that! 😊

Thank you! It doesn’t seem to have a recessed area for the glass, but it’s pretty corroded so who knows!

Thank you! Always nice to hear something like that! 😊

Could be! I’m seeing a lot of “drain plug” comments, but it could’ve had multiple applications.

Thanks!

Parts of dishes, teacups, saucers, you name it - it’s all household tableware from centuries ago! I don’t always find a large enough piece to determine the style, though. Larger pieces are much easier to pin down to a specific time frame.

Thank you! My videos of the Cape Cod trip are coming up soon. 😊 Happy New Year!

Once it’s not just stacks of Riker boxes and paper plates, a video tour is in order! 😆

Thank you! That thing was a gut punch… 🤣

Thanks Andrew! That site has been producing consistently since 2018, but usually I’ll only get a few good hunts in a row and then it dries up until we get a good New England frost heave, hah! I’ll be back there in the Spring.

They’re fun to use! I generally only resort to them if a toothpick doesn’t do the trick, but they’ve also helped me clean relics. Quite versatile!

Thank you!

Thanks for watching!

It sure is, I’m glad someone IDed it before I put the video up! I wish I could remember who it was!

Thank you! I’m waiting right along with you, the ground is rough right now!

Much wider timeframe, actually - roughly 1690-1850, there’s quite a spread. I’m hoping for a Capped Bust half dollar, 18th century silver or gold of any kind, the usual stuff that remains on my bucket list lol.

That’s what it is! 😊

Thanks Elisabeth! Look at me, finally plowing through the comments! 😆 I look forward to going back to that site after a good frost heave. The last time I went, it was getting pretty quiet. Always lights back up again, though!

Thanks Nathan!

Hahahahaha, oh god. 🤣 If I didn’t pride myself on doing my best to provide accurate IDs, I would RUN with this. 😂

Definitely more durable! I don’t think any American coins were made from the alloy - at least it was one I was unfamiliar with.

Could be, for sure! I’ll have to look at those!

I’m reading several comments along the same lines, so I think you’re onto something! Thanks! 😊

Thank you! 😊

Awesome! Shoot me an email (see pinned comment), it’s easier for me to give you the full rundown of settings. I think RUclips would cut off my comment due to the length, haha.

Thank you! Glad to hear that! 😊

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, I carry a knife and pepper spray on me at all times. Apart from that, I carry a backpack with the essentials in case I were to get lost out there (2.5 liter water bladder, TP, solar powerbank, extra layers, etc). People laugh at me for never taking my backpack off lol, but it gives me a strong sense of security (my knife is clipped onto one of the arm straps!).

Thank you! I remembered my friend Nancy (the helpful one in ID ME who truly knows her stuff) IDing pieces like this for me in the past, and it was generally the clasp that would help her provide a date range. I knew it looked familiar! 😊

I would say so!

Or it could have a number of applications, as a wise man told me recently. 😉

Thank you!

Thank you, Jon! Just saw your email (I went “dark” online for a few days, lots going on at home!). I think you’re correct - appreciate it very much!

Could be - seems small even for a sink, but I can’t say I’m well versed on turn-of-the-century bathroom or kitchen fixtures, hah!

Possibly? I’m hearing a lot of “bottle stopper” comments, and someone emailed me an example. That seems to be the best match so far!

I’m on the fence with that first piece, it seems to most closely match a bottle stopper. The porcelain piece is a watercolor tray insert, I IDed it in the video.

That’s awesome, very glad to hear that! It’s a great machine!

Thanks for watching! 😊

Thank you, Jill! I do wonder why it seems they took off in a hurry - then again, people were far more wasteful 100 years ago versus 300 years ago, which is why those older sites are more sparse. The ring was actually my mother’s everyday ring. When I was going through her jewelry after she passed, I casually put it on. It happened to fit on my left ring finger, and it’s the only finger it fits on, lol! I only take it off to dig now. ❤️

@@StefDigs it’s a very pretty ring and a nice memento from your mom❤️..looking forward to more videos in the coming year. All the best ✌🏼Jill

Yes, that’s the one! Was so stoked to have that ID! 😄 I’m seeing a majority consensus of bottle stopped for that drain plug looking thing, lol. Could’ve been either, honestly!

Thanks for coming along! 😊

Could be a bottle stopper, as well. Was looking at some examples based on the comments and it seems to be the closest match!

There’s still some rubber attached - it’s looking more like a bottle stopper based on some brief Googling from the comments here, lol. Could’ve been one or the other!

Haha, it’s funny, I remembered a tin example I have at home when I dug it (an antique my mom purchased years ago), but thought “nah, this is too heavy for a candlestick.” I’ll be darned! 😆

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate the history you provided, as well! 😊

I’ve found the M9 to get comparable depth to the M11, and much improved target separation. That said, I do NOT have a test garden set up in my yard, so this is uncontrolled experimentation and strictly based on my own observations in the field. The weight difference feels huge! The machine is far better balanced, and I don’t feel like I’m losing a lot of ground coverage even though it’s a 2” difference. I’ve taken the M9 off maybe twice in 6 months for the M11, so that tells you I’m a fan! If you’re going to be playing in iron or trashy areas but want to feel that you’re not losing depth, M9 is the way to go.

Either that or a bottle stopper - based on the split comments, I should probably throw a survey up, lol!

Thanks for coming along!
